1900s: In the 1900s Edwardian style makeup was the big trend. Makeup foundations were soft, shine-less and pale. Most woman actually wore foundation lighter than their own skin. The lips and cheeks were usually stained using the same products, so cheeks were very rosy and matched the lips. The brows were of a natural, medium thickness and the eyes were kept light with just a touch of mascara.

1920s: In the 1920s a popular trend was Flapper Makeup. Eyes that were light in the 1900s turned smokey in the 20s. The eye shadow was typically dark up to the crease of the eye and a little smudged in the outer corners. Cheeks were still rosy, focusing mostly on the apples- and lips were usually a deep red. The lips were shaped in a signature way too with a Cupids Bow up top and a wide bottom lip that narrowed at the sides. Eyebrows started to become thinner and rounder, and a lot more mascara was added to the lashes as well.
1930s: The 1930s were a bright and pink time period. Platinum blonde hair started coming into style, thanks to Jean Harlow (pictured left) courtesy of Max Factor. Foundations were still pale but now had pink undertones. Eye shadow colors began to become more popular in shades of green, blue and violet. Blush was preferred in light pink and natural colors, while lips were bright oranges and reds. Lipstick was still drawn in a defined way. Eyebrows became even thinner- some woman even shaved theirs off to draw perfect ones on. Contouring also started becoming more popular, as seen on certain stars like Marlene Dietrich- who is known for contouring her cheekbones. The 30s started certain trends that carried into the 40s and 50s and have recently re-merged again today. Thanks for the read. Enjoy your day! xo -Reg
